Financial payments on the Work Programme are not segmented by participant age. The exception is 18 to 24 year old Jobseekers Allowance participants, which has its own payment group. The table below shows job outcome payments from the most recently published financial information for that group, covering the period from June 2011 to the 31^st March 2014.
